No. Export will recover the DB from the last export. You will lose any data that has changed since the last export provided you didn't lose your export file. Export does not care if you are in archive mode.
Use archive mode and RMAN to backup the DB without taking it offline. This give you the ability to do a full recovery up to the failure or a point-in-time recovery.
There are many backup strategies you can use. Check out the Backup and Recovery manual.
